Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN), in collaboration with Medical Skills and within initiatives supported by EIT Health, will host a free online training session on September 30, at 6:30 PM (Lisbon time): “POCUS in the Emergency Room – How to Systematize?”, led by Elena Segura.

The session will focus on Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), a crucial tool in emergency medicine for its ability to provide rapid diagnostic insights and support critical clinical decisions. Designed for doctors, nurses, and medical/nursing students, the programme aims to provide essential knowledge and practical approaches to clinical ultrasound in emergency settings.

Participants will explore four core topics:

• Indications: POCUS in critical scenarios such as shock and trauma;
• Diagnosis: identifying and interpreting ultrasound patterns;
• Clinical management: supporting fast and effective decision-making;
• Limits: safe use with awareness of method limitations.
